BOSTON (AP) – The Boston Celtics acquired Wally Szczerbiak and Michael Olowokandi from the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night in a multiplayer deal that sent Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Marcus Banks, Justin Reed and two conditional second-round draft picks to Minnesota.

The Celtics also get Dwayne Jones and a future first-round draft pick, Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said.

“We are ecstatic to acquire a player of Wally Szczerbiak’s quality to complement Paul Pierce and our young talent base”, Celtics director of basketball operations Danny Ainge said in a statement.

“In Wally, we are receiving an All-Star player who is playoff tested and who has been a winner at all levels.”

We wish Ricky, Mark, Marcus, and Justin continued success in Minnesota.”

Davis, a 6-foot-7 guard, is the Celtics second leading scorer, averaging 19.7 points per game, and the 7-0 Blount is the team’s third-leading scorer at 12.4 points per game.

Banks, a point guard and former first-round draft pick, was made expendable by the development of Delonte West.

The 6-7 Szczerbiak is averaging 20.1 points, second on Minnesota’s team, while the 7-0 Olowokandi, a former first overall draft pick, is averaging 6 points.
